SCANDAL AT NEWPORT.
a Society Man Accused of Serious
MIsdpmeanOr.


The following story is the gossip of New
port, nowadays A policeman is under sus-
pension, and from present indications be will
be discharged. Fred May, society swell,
who halls from Baltimore, and who figured
i'll duel some years ago, came over from
Narragansett Pier to attend the subscription
ball at the Casino. He was feeling very
frisky all the following day. At an early
hour Saturday morning he walked home from
Wabons with Ray Miller of New York and
Donald Dew. Graham, an English singer,
who is often heard III parlors of society resi-
dcnceS. Graham has rooms in the Berkeley,
a resort exclusively used for bachelors who
can pay good prices. May and Miller in
sisted upon entering the Berkeley with Gra-
ham, and when once inside they broke in the
door OF the apartments occupied by Charles
| F. Bates of New York, who was sound
asleep They took him out Of bed, broke up
his furniture and acted more like madmen
than gentlemen. Bates was afraid of his
| life, and none of the other inmates who were
around cared to risk their heads by going to
his rescue. Bates, clad only in his nightshirt,
rushed down stairs and out into the street,
where he hailed policeman. The police
man, as soon as he heard that May was in
side, declined to enter the building, as he had
heard of that gentleman'S pugilistic encoun-
ters elsewhere. Bates told him that he could
use his revolver and his club, as he was
AFRAID OF his lie, Dut IL was OIL no USE
The full facts were laid before the mayor,
and he promptly suspended the officer pend
ing an investigation. May, who was the guest
of a prominent society lady, was asked to
curtail his visit at once. He did so, and took
the next boat for Narragansett. Graham is
very much censured for allowing Miller and
May to enter the building the doors of which
are always fastened Miller has made
handsome apology for the part which he
took in the fracaS. May was given limited
time in which to apologize, with the assur-
ance that the law would be allowed to take
its course 1t was May who broke in the
door. Millers offer to pay the damages and
evidence secured by the chief of police show
that he played an insignificant part,
compared to Mays conduct, in the disgrace
full affair, May has not been popular here
for several years, and he usually gives New
| port wide berth, coming here not more
than day or two during the season. Sew
.eral guests stood in the corridor at the Berke-
| ley, with bed Stats in their hands, in order to
defend themselves May and Bates clinched,
but were soon separated. Both bore marks
of the encounter. The conduct of the officer
| IS denounced on all sides.

THROUGH WHIRLPOOL RAPIDS.
success of an Experiment In the Niag-
nrn River,

Charles Alexander Percy, of Suspension
Bridge, 27 years old and by trade wagon
maker, carriage trimmer and painter has
made safe trip through the whirlpool rapids
in a.life boat built by himself, and upon the
construction of which he has been engaged
during the past summer. The boat is about
II feet long, with an air chamber at either
end, in one of which Percy made the voyage.
1t is rugged with a seat, so that the naviga-
tor can strap himself to it and travel out
side if he wishes. The keel is weighted with
240 pounds of iron, and bags of sand are
carried in the hold so that it will right itself
An iron weight is attached to large rope
trailed from the stern so as to keep the bow
straight ahead. Though it keeled in a threat
ening way, the craft rode the breakers and
great waves without once upsetting. After
entering the whirlpool basin Percy came out
and rowed himself ashore His object is not
for glory, he says The journey was simply
experimental, and the boat having come
through all right, he will now model life
boat on a large scale from it, and ask for a
patent The strangest part Of it is that Per-
cy has no practical knowledge of boat
building. His work was done in secret, and
no one but his brother had been allowed to
see the boat until it was launched.

MERRIMAc's OFFICERS ExoNERATED
Captain CrOweIl Vindicated and the
Blanc Placed on Pilot Reynolds.

captain Cr0weu Vindtcateu nnd the
Blanc Placed Oh PiIot Reynolds.
The inspectors of steam vessels have given
their findings in the Merrimac disaster, of
which the following are extracts:
The plotting Of the ship was in charge of
Joseph Reynolds, a provincial pilot, Capt.
Crowell not being pilot on that coast, but
he was in and out of the pilot house during
the night, and constantly there after the fog
set in. To the failure of pilot Reynolds, who
ought to have been familiar with the cur
rents, to make allowance for the westerly
drift must be attributed the loss of this ship.
There is but little doubt that the ships COM
passes were practically correct. If they
were out, the fact ought to have
been discovered on the different
courses steered between Hawksbury
and Lahave, and allowance made. After
Capt. Crowell found his ship on the rocks, he
kept the engine working ahead until she
stopped. This we consider highly commend
able, and preferable to backing off, which
has been too often practised, thus exposing
passengers and crew to, far greater dangers.
The fact that all the boats and RATS were
safely lowered, and the passengers and crew
safely landed, completely disproves the first
newspaper reports Of a total lack of discipline
on the part Of all the officers. All the testi-
mony goes to prove that the discipline was

excitement or Generalization among the pas
sengers, with the exception of the fact that two
men named Hart and Fader undertook to steal
one of the boats, but were prevented by Capt.
Crowell, who says he should have felt him
self perfectly justified in shooting them
down had they further resisted his orders. So
far as the reported charge of drunkenness or
lntemperance among the officers or crew is
concerned, we fail to find one particla of tes-
hmony to sustain the charge. On the whole,
we are satisfied that all the licensed officers
on this ship performed their several duties
highly creditably to themselves, and to the
steamboat service, and in manner fully up
TO the requirements of the law. There was no
loss of life and no personal injury, except
to Capt. Crowell, who was quite seriously in
jured, having two ribs broken The ship was
total loss The vessel was valued at $780,
300, and the cargo at $4,000. Very respect.

CHANGES IN POSTAGE STAMPS.
Just What They WnI he, and the Rca-
sons for Making Them.

There seems to be a decided misunder
standing concerning the intentions of the
postothce department with reference to the
changes in the series of adhesive stamps,
writes the New York Suns Washington cor
respondent. Maj Howard chief Of the
stamp division of the department, says that
the only change Of any kind in the detached
stamps will be in the 2-cent stamp This is
ut present metallic rod About the middle
of September all those issued from the de-
partment will be green. The reason for this
change is that, until the minimum rate of
letter postage was reduced to 2 cents, the
color of the stamp most generally usod
namely, tho threo-cent, was green, aud the post
Office officials think that that color gave more
general satisfaction to the public than any
ether. 1t was the intention Of the depart
ment to mako numerous other changes in the
colOrs of adhesive stamps at the same time
that the change in the two-cent variety is to
go into effect, but it was found that Ghe COLI
tractors have Il large supply Of the current
series on hand, and if the colors are ordered
changed at once, it will entail serious loss
upon them. For this reason the changes con-
tenplated will be ordered as fast as the sup
ply Of each denomination is exhausted.
The following changes III the impressed
stamps on stamped envelopes have been o.
dered to go into effect as soon rs the contrac.
tors can get the stock ready.
